Recoverable Damages in a Ontario Wrongful Death Action

A wrongful death claim arises when a person’s death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or wrongful acts of another. California law allows family members, including surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children, to bring an action against the responsible party to recover damages that they have personally suffered as a result of the loss. If your loved one’s death resulted from a work-related incident, you may be entitled to death benefits under California’s workers’ compensation system. We can help you file these claims as well.

Damages that you may recover in a wrongful death claim include, but are not limited to:

Funeral and burial expenses

Loss of future earnings the deceased would have provided for the surviving family members

Lost pensions or retirement benefits

Loss of companionship, love, comfort, care, protection, and moral support

Loss of consortium

Loss of training and guidance for children

Grief, mental anguish, and suffering

If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence or wrongful act of another it is important to seek immediate legal advice and representation to protect your right to recovery. California laws set deadlines for filing a wrongful death lawsuit, which may vary significantly depending on the parties involved and other facts of the case.
